Most Blessed Sacrament   

Jesus said to the Jewish crowds:
"I am the living bread that came down from heaven;
whoever eats this bread will live forever;
and the bread that I will give
is my flesh for the life of the world."

The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying,
"How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" 
Jesus said to them,
"Amen, amen, I say to you,
unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood,
you do not have life within you. 
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood
has eternal life,
and I will raise him on the last day. 
For my flesh is true food,
and my blood is true drink. 
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood
remains in me and I in him. 
Just as the living Father sent me
and I have life because of the Father,
so also the one who feeds on me
will have life because of me. 
This is the bread that came down from heaven. 
Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died,
whoever eats this bread will live forever."

Again...WELCOME!!!

Dear Parishioners!
At this time of year, with it being “ordination season”, I naturally find myself reflecting on the gift of the priesthood. It is, as St. John Paul II wrote, both gift and mystery. While it is a challenging life, it is also the greatest adventure one could ever undertake. What could be greater? Well, nothing. That in no way is to look down upon other vocations, for I have the highest regard for both religious and married couples. But the priesthood is exceptional, not because of who we priests are in and of ourselves, but precisely because of what God does in and through us, who He makes us to be, though we are most unworthy of this awesome dignity. As I think about the priesthood, I cannot also help think about the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. They are bond so intimately together that we can even say the priesthood exists for the Holy Eucharist and the Holy Eucharist would not exist without the priesthood. Of all the blessings of being priest, and there are many, none of them can quite compare with celebrating the Mass. To speak the words of our Lord as if they were my own! To hold and look upon the sacred host as it becomes the true Body of Christ, and likewise to hold and gaze into the chalice as the wine becomes His Precious Blood, is beyond my poor ability to adequately describe. It is a moment of awe, of fear, of being overwhelmed by love. I share this for a couple reasons. One, today, the Feast of Corpus Christi, is our parish feast day! I invite you to really take some time this week to think about the Holy Eucharist. Has the Lord’s true presence become “commonplace”, something perhaps taken for granted or are you in total awe of the mystery? Does thinking about His presence in this great sacrament make you want to fall on your knees before Him and bow you face to the ground in adoration? If so- good! Come into His presence and do that! If not- why not? Come and visit Him in the Blessed Sacrament and let His Sacred Heart open up your heart. 
    Now today is also Father’s Day. As I wish all our father’s a very happy day, and I offer you my prayers today, I also want to encourage you and challenge you to lead your family in a growing devotion to the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Bring your children to the church each week, not just to Sunday Mass, but stop in one other time during the week and lead your children in prayer before the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. It will be one of the greatest fatherly acts you can do for them. 
   On this Father’s Day I also want to encourage and challenge you to do something else. Encourage your sons and grandsons to consider becoming a spiritual father, a priest of Jesus Christ. As I said above, it is a life filled with many blessings. Is it a life of many challenges and sacrifices? Yes it is. Anything worth doing is. But the blessing of being so close to the Lord at the altar far surpasses everything else. It is also true that there is no greater way of making a difference in the world than offering the sacrifice of Christ in the Holy Mass and forgiving sins. The last son of this parish ordained to the priesthood was in 2011, Father Jeremiah of the Friars of the Renewal and the last son ordained as a diocesan priest was in 2000, Father Andy Gehringer. That’s seventeen years ago, far too long for such a great parish! Let’s get praying and encouraging our young men to be open to the Lord’s call. Good fathers will do that best by bringing them to church to visit the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. 
Peace! Fr. Adam
